Eat Your Damn Greens (Recharge Challenge Week 2)

This week, we’re getting a little leafy. In Week 2 of our 10-Week Recharge Challenge, we’re focusing on feeding your cells from the inside out. No, you don’t need to become a kale evangelist — but yes, your mitochondria are begging you for some help.

As physicians, we’ve been trained to care for everyone else first. We run on caffeine, cortisol, and guilt, and we convince ourselves that “real” self-care can wait until the inbox is empty. But your body isn’t a machine — it’s an ecosystem. And if you’ve been running it on fumes, it’s time to replenish the soil.

In this episode, we’ll talk about:
🌿 Why cruciferous veggies (like broccoli and kale) literally boost your immune defense and repair gut lining
🧬 How greens increase nitric oxide, improving blood flow, brain clarity, and energy
🩸 The connection between greens, telomere repair, and cellular aging
🥗 The habit science of “I’m someone who takes care of myself”
🍃 Simple ways to get more greens into your day (no perfectionism required)

Join the 10-Week Recharge Challenge for Women Physicians and get curated weekly resources — recipes, guides, and accountability — to make these habits stick.

👉 Join the VIP Challenge for $49

Mentioned in this Episode:

  • The Telomere Effect by Elizabeth Blackburn & Elissa Epel
  • Yoga Nidra practice (see Week 1)
  • Broccoli sprouts (tiny but mighty!)

Next Week: We’ll explore breathwork — your built-in stress reset button.
